The brutal Bitcoin Cash hard fork may have happened almost four months ago, but some of its sparks are still lit. Now, the CEO of Bitcoin.com, Roger Ver, has decided to talk about Craig Wright, the most infamous face linked to Bitcoin Satoshi Vision (SV).

Now, Bitcoin Jesus, as Roger Ver is well-known, has decided to publish a new video called “Bitcoin Cash is Finally Free of “Faketoshi”! Great Days Lie Ahead” in which he bashes Craig Wright once more saying that he is “absolutely everything that this entire ecosystem is against”.

The video has 14 minutes and has Ver citing an article written by Jonald Fyookball, which has created Electron Cash, a Bitcoin Cash (BCH) client.

According to the article cited in the video, Wright is a tyrant within the community and Bitcoin Cash could have seen more success if it wasn’t for him, as he did a lot of damage to the crypto.

Among the main controversies in which Wright is mixed in, there is the story of when he affirmed that he was the “real Satoshi Nakamoto”, something that is said to be a lie and also gave him the nickname of

“Faketoshi”.

Fyookball has called Wright a liar and said that he faked PGP keys, public key signings and even made threats in order to consolidate his position in the industry. He also affirmed that he lacks the “writing style” used by the original Satoshi Nakamoto.

Roger Ver seconded Fyookball’s claims and said that Wright made several unfulfilled promises to the community, which caused a lot of people to lose their time on his ideas.

The video ended by affirming that the split was mostly good for the community and that BSV can now follow its own way separate from the BCH community, which has made the vision of the community clearer.

It looks like Roger Ver and Craig Wright will not make amends any time soon. The war between the two sides may have caused the split, but it did not end there, so we will be seeing several similar videos in the future.

The once fourth largest cryptocurrency wallet that accumulated up to 113,000 BTC since 2014, seems to have sold all his funds a few days ago.

The once fourth largest cryptocurrency wallet that accumulated up to 113,000 BTC since 2014, seems to have sold all his funds a few days ago.

In this way, the wallet has been emptied after a long period of accumulation.

Cryptocurrency Whale Sells All Its Bitcoin

One of the largest Bitcoin wallets in the market – that held $440 million or even more – sold all the funds it had. According to Trust Nodes, this wallet has been purchasing BTC throughout 2017 and since 2014. Nevertheless, it decided to sell when the market skyrocketed in 2017.

The wallet experienced its first transaction on October 24th 2014 when the investor sent 0.01 BTC to the wallet and withdrew the same amount from it. As the address and wallet work properly, the user started to feel safe about managing his own BTC.

The wallet shows that the user had a sophisticated way of managing the wallet. The owner controlled the address with software. The withdrawals processed are exactly at the same time, but to different addresses.

The last funds (60,000 BTC) were withdrawn on February 28 in the European morning. Moreover, the wallet withdrew the funds in different transactions of different amounts, being 1,000 BTC the most common. It seems that this could just be an OTC sale.

Why the investor decided to sell all his funds is not clear. We do not know who this investor is and what he initially planned. The user could be preparing itself in case Bitcoin falls under $3,000 once again before starting to grow. He might also be starting to use different wallets to remain more anonymous than now.

It is also important to know that 60,000 BTC have already been sold and that in the future, if the investor wants to have them back, he would have to purchase them, increasing the buying pressure in the market.

Trading volume has been growing and there are some experts that believe that the space never had four weeks with as much buying pressure as now.

What happened: Chinese social media caught a glimpse of a new physical use for bitcoin when images surfaced on microblogging platform Weibo showing cryptocurrency-themed (and funded) guardrails in Yuedong, a village in the eastern province of Zhejiang near Wenzhou. According to residents, the village owes its progressive attitude toward blockchain technologies to Btcchina cryptocurrency exchange founder Yang Linke, who was born there. A blockchain theme park is also being built in Yuedong to capitalize on the rising number of tourists seeking to witness what appears to be a crypto first.

Why it’s important: Despite far-reachingbans and regulations imposed on cryptocurrency by the central government, local support for the embattled tech seems to persist. One local resident reported that Wenzhou government officials have reacted positively to the cryptocurrency-themed carvings. Additionally, some villagers have taken up developing decentralized apps, or dapps, and Wenzhou even has its own EOS node. These grassroots developments offer some proof that China’s influence on the future of blockchain is alive and well.

BTCNN is reporting that a small group of top rated nightclubs in Tokyo, Japan have agreed to begin accepting Bitcoin Cash (BCH) as payment for both beverages and food. Already Japan is the third most popular region for BCH acceptance.

This turn of events comes about because of a deal made between BCH enthusiast Akane Yokoo and the owner of some of Tokyo’s hottest clubs. Thanks to this agreement, clubs such as V2, Ele, Villa, and Mezzo will be accepting the digital currency beginning in April.

According to Yokoo part of the reason for the agreement is that Mezzo regularly hosts BCH meetups and is generally sympathetic to the community. It should also be noted that the clubs will be using Bitcoin.com wallets and hence not transferring the money immediately into fiat.

This is definitely a great turn of events for the Bitcoin Cash community. If these hot clubs inspire more people to use the crypto, it just may fulfill its dream of being the cash of tomorrow.

The Coinbase scandal in the cryptocurrency space had taken up a lion’s share of the spotlight over the past week. The issues in the ecosystem were not just propagated by users of Coinbase, but also by several proponents from the field of cryptocurrencies. The latest luminary to speak about the topic was Roger Ver, the Chief Executive Officer of Bitcoin.com and a major proponent of Bitcoin Cash [BCH].

In a recent tweet, Ver attacked Katie Haun from Coinbase, initiating a hashtag called #DeleteKatieHaunFromCoinbase. Ver’s animosity towards Katie Haun started in 2015, when Haun fined XRP for not making Roger Ver give a Know Your Customer [KYC] form. At the time, Roger was XRP’s angel investor and the company had considered him friendly to give him the leeway. There were many from the space who claimed that Haun had stirred the drama for her own personal gains.

Kathryn Haun had joined Coinbase’s Board of Directors in 2017, bringing her into the loop of the current controversy. There has been no comment from Coinbase’s side about Ver’s comments, but many are expectantly waiting for the rebuttal. Even Tiffany Hayden, a popular XRP proponent took Ver’s side, and tweeted,

“I knew that was a witch hunt! FinCEN caused a lot of damage to XRP.”

Steven Zeiler, another cryptocurrency enthusiast and CEO of Anypay also commented;

“Yeah man she ruined a ton of awesome work we were doing at Ripple Labs, basically out of spite for Roger investing in awesome tech that disrupts the state banking complex.”

This is not the first time that Ver has opined on the Coinbase issue as he had earlier opposed the #DeleteCoinbase campaign. He tweeted:

“Coinbase has done more to drive crypto currency adoption than just about any other company. We should be grateful despite a few poor decisions along the way. Don’t #DeleteCoinbase”

Along with the above tweet, Ver even started his first attack on Kathryn Haun by claiming:

“Kathryn Haun is a former federal prosecutor responsible for sending countless people to prison for victimless crimes. To my knowledge, she has never apologized.”
